Life stories, corporate stories
Every firm is a story to be told, a collection of past lives which should be known. In every case and above all when these are innovating firms which have staked on themselves, which have built their balance sheets on the future, their culture on people and on technology. Italy is full of firms like these and they are there for the discovering, as twelve writers did with twelve firms in the Turin area, one with the highest concentration of industry in Italy and also one of those hardest hit by the economic crisis. The exploration was sponsored by the Turin Chamber of Commerce, the Fondazione Human+, the Politecnico and the API, the association which groups together small firms. The result was a book, just under two hundred pages of corporate life.
Imprese d’autore [“Firms d’Auteur”] is the title of the book published by La Stampa which is a collection of twelve stories of corporate life, stories by writers who unearth stories of entrepreneurs, of what they have done in years of work. Not alone but instead with other people – factory workers, technicians, wives, sons and daughters, friends – who have shared a ground-breaking idea (a project in technical and dry terms) and have given their all in order to succeed in fulfilling this idea. Building up a corporate culture structured like a play in twelve acts, similar to thousands of others that are a feature of production in Italy and with the same number of technical discussions in between.
The line-up includes works by authors Stefania Bertola, Younis Tawfik, Enrico Pandiani, Carlo Grande, Giuseppe Culicchia, Alessandro Barbero, Margherita Oggero, Enrico Remmert, Luca Ragagnin, Anna Berra, Alessandro Perissinotto and Bruno Gambarotta who tell of the vicissitudes of small and medium-sized firms such as Amet, Blue Engineering, Corona, Criotec Impianti, Delgrosso, Ergotech, Inkmaker, Lma, Plm Systems, Poker, Sea Marconi and Sinterloy. All firms virtually unknown to the general public yet which hold something that is innovative and winning. Examples told with emotion and involvement which show the Italian way to well-being which has not yet been abandoned.
